Combining RCM expertise with digital technology to minimize administrative costs

The highest indication of good financial health for a healthcare provider is the containment of aging AR to less than 30 days. The right AR solution can reduce AR aging by 12-15%, much like Cognizant’s advanced technology-enabled, talent-driven AR management services. These services are augmented with intelligent automation, helping our clients collect cash faster and increase revenue.

Our highly trained AR experts work directly on every aspect of the AR management cycle, starting from prior authorization to collections. With our approach, almost 50% of your TCO (Total Cost of Operations) is minimized and the RCM staff on your payroll are freed to focus time and attention on Clinical and Patient Outcomes. For one of our clients, that has translated into an increase in collection by 50%.

We strive so every RCM operation becomes digital, incorporating automation, artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain solutions to accomplish business goals.
